Higher Education in Malawi
THE PROBLEM
There are only a few universities in Malawi and limited space for those that need it.
Higher education enrollment is just 13.8% of secondary enrollment and merely 1.37% of primary enrollment.
The new government has introduced free high school education. There is an overwhelming need for more universities to absorb the potential increased number of high school graduates.
"Given our current situation, we must build more secondary and primary schools and even a university to empower our youth,” he added. 'We want to address our local challenges in the education sector.'"- Bishop Mwakhwawa
"This includes overcrowded classrooms, lack of teaching and learning materials, high school fees, and staff shortages. The question is, how can we, as Catholic institutions, become beacons of hope?” - Brother Mtuwana.
